CNN: “Remembering America’s Lost Buildings” by Kevin Murphy and Other Architectural Historians

Posted by on Friday, August 10, 2018 in HART, News, VRC.

rachelraymondhouseCNN recently picked up an earlier story, “Remembering America’s Lost Buildings” (August 31, 2017), from The Conversation in which Kevin Murphy, professor and chair of the history of art, participated. Murphy was among five architectural historians and professors who responded to the question: “What’s one American structure you wish had been saved?”

While their responses vary – from an unassuming home nestled in the suburbs of Boston to a monument of 19th-century wealth and glamour – none of the structures could resist the tides of decay, development and discrimination. . . . Read more in The Conversation, including Murphy’s article, “Traditional New England goes modern,” on the Rachel Raymond House, Belmont, Massachusetts, designed in 1931 by architect Eleanor Raymond for her sister Rachel and demolished in 2006.
